Generals Win, 5-3, Versus Boston
Atlanta parlayed a decent outing from starter Gary Ovitt into a solid win over the Boston Terriers. The final score was 5-3. Atlanta is now 77-65, Boston 58-85.

Atlanta won the game in part because of Ed Mika. The first baseman ripped a 3-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Generals ahead, 5-3. For the game, Mika had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

Mika attributed the win to "everyone pulling their weight."
